Patek Philippe Split Seconds Chronograph 5370P

Partially verified

The Patek Philippe reference 5370P is a platinum-cased split-seconds chronograph wristwatch featuring a blue Grand Feu enamel dial. Introduced in 2015, this model marks the brand's first fully in-house developed split-seconds chronograph movement, identified as the caliber CHR 29-535 PS. The mechanical architecture incorporates six patented technical innovations intended to optimize gear engagement and balance amplitude. The timepiece was developed under the oversight of Thierry Stern, with engineering led by Philip Barat and aesthetic design managed by Sandrine Stern. The case back is transparent, exposing the hand-finished movement components. The exact dimensions of the platinum case are not provided in the documentation, and there is no information regarding original accompanying accessories.

Object description

Case and Dial

The reference 5370P features a case constructed from platinum, consistent with the brand's naming convention for this metal. The dial is executed in blue Grand Feu enamel, characterized by applied numerals and sub-dials. The arrangement includes two main sub-dials for the chronograph functions.

The case design includes a three-button configuration to manage the split-seconds chronograph complications. The dial layout includes a tachymeter scale printed on the outer periphery. The visual presentation of the case and dial is described as classical in nature.

  • “نخستین کرنوگراف اسپلیت سکندز (تک‌ثانیه‌ای یا رتروپانت) سه‌دکمه‌ای”

Movement and Engineering

The movement powering the 5370P is the hand-wound caliber CHR 29-535 PS, which is an in-house development. This engine includes a re-engineered split-seconds mechanism, which is intended to provide smoother gear engagement and increased stability of balance amplitude compared to predecessor movements.

The movement construction incorporates six distinct patented technical innovations specifically for the chronograph system. The manual finishing of the movement is visible through the exhibition case back, allowing observation of the complex mechanical parts.
